King of the Mountain Yes, that's exactly what I thought! What an exciting record  if that's the 'radio-friendly' track, I hope the rest of the album is even further out. Sounds like we might be in for a record to match THE DREAMING or HOUNDS OF LOVE rather than the slightly lacklustre RED SHOES. When the up-front rhythm guitar came in about half-way through, my first thought was of "Which Way To Turn" on "Mamouna"...

No, not a spin-off from the Porcupine Tree outfit, but yet another CD offering of Roxy onstage live. And the same unusual rules apply... I will send out free and gratis FIVE 2CD sets of the recent 2005 concert by Roxy Music. These will go to the first FIVE e-mails received AFTER 9am BST on Friday September 23 (to enable all digest members to respond also). I am aware that this may be prejudicial to those sleeping due to international date lines etc, but I'm hoping those of you affected know how to set up your e-mails to be sent remotely? Further, I intend to mail to two Brits, one European, one US subscriber and one situated in OTHER world territories (especially worded to please friends in Oz). Please indicate if you are happy to be the next branch in the tree and copy CDs free for others. PLEASE respond OFFLIST so as not to annoy others unnecessarily.

(Click on "Thursday") Not a bad little radio drama, either, I thought. I missed the Pyjamarama opening, but heard Let's Stick Together and from there on. The songs do sound absolutely fantastic in this new context. In some cases they are used to fit the mood of the play very clearly. Maybe in all cases on a second listen...
